For most kitchens, the Showvigor 17 oz Glass Olive Oil Dispenser Set is my best overall pick because its set format suits controlled everyday pouring. The CXINYI 2-in-1 and YARRAMATE 2-in-1 stand out for cooks who want both spraying and pouring, while the Flairosol Olivia Signature is a dedicated sprayer option. The main tradeoffs are whether you want a fine spray or a steady pour, how much capacity you need, and whether a set or single bottle fits your counter. Glass keeps the oil visible, while opaque or covered designs can limit light exposure. Read on for how each dispenser fits different kitchens and routines.

Key Takeaways
- Showvigor takes the overall slot because its dispenser set is aimed at everyday pouring, while the 2-in-1 CXINYI and YARRAMATE add spray functionality for cooks who want one tool for two tasks.
- Dual-purpose designs trade simplicity for flexibility: CXINYI and YARRAMATE combine spray and pour functions, but buyers should decide whether they will use both before choosing a more involved format.
- Flairosol’s two Olivia models serve sprayer-first cooks. The Signature and Golden Leaves versions are more focused on oil application than bottle-and-pour routines.
- The AOZITA clear and green bottles offer the same listed capacity and accessories. Color is the main stated distinction, so choose based on how much visibility or light shielding you prefer.
- Sets solve different kitchen needs. Showvigor is a single dispenser set, while Leaflai pairs oil and vinegar bottles; a two-bottle arrangement is useful only if you have room and will use both.

More Details on Our Top Picks
CXINYI 2-in-1 Olive Oil Dispenser and Sprayer, 16 oz, Black and Green
The CXINYI 2-in-1 suits cooks who want one bottle for both coating a pan and pouring oil. Its deep green glass helps limit light exposure, a useful distinction from the clear bottle on the YARRAMATE 16 oz Glass Olive Oil Sprayer. Quick presses produce a fine mist, while slower presses provide a steady stream, so the dispensing style can match the task. Eight waterproof labels also help distinguish oils or other liquids in a busy kitchen. The tradeoff is that the product details don’t explain how to clean the spray mechanism, leaving more uncertainty for buyers who prioritize simple maintenance. At 16 ounces, it offers the same general capacity as YARRAMATE but doesn’t list a measured amount per spray.
Pros:- Combines pouring and spraying in one bottle
- Deep green glass helps shield oil from light
- Quick presses make a fine mist; slower presses produce a steady stream
- Includes eight waterproof labels, including two blank labels
Cons:- Cleaning instructions for the bottle and spray mechanism aren’t specified
- No measured oil output per spray is provided
Best for: Home cooks who keep oil near a sunny counter and want both spraying and pouring from one labeled bottle
Not ideal for: Buyers who need clear cleaning guidance or a stated spray dose for tracking oil use
- Capacity:16 oz / 470 ml
- Material:Deep green glass
- Functions:Pouring and spraying
- Spray modes:Fine mist and steady stream
- Included labels:8 waterproof labels: 6 pre-printed and 2 blank
- Color:Black and green
- Quality assurance:Lifetime quality guarantee
Our verdict“Choose the CXINYI if light shielding, flexible dispensing, and bottle labels matter more to you than published cleaning guidance or per-spray measurements.”
YARRAMATE 16 oz 2-in-1 Glass Olive Oil Sprayer, Black
The YARRAMATE 16 oz is a practical pick for cooks who want to watch both the bottle level and the amount dispensed. Its transparent glass makes refills easier to judge, and the stated output of about 0.2 g per spray gives a clearer portion reference than the CXINYI, which doesn’t list a dose. It also pours, so a measured spray isn’t the only way to add oil. The wide opening helps with refilling, while a lockable lid suits storage between uses. The compromises are its light-exposing clear glass and the recommendation to hand wash; dishwasher compatibility isn’t specified. Compared with the TrendPlain, YARRAMATE provides more bottle and lid details, while TrendPlain lists a smaller per-spray amount.
Pros:- Approximately 0.2 g per spray offers a portion reference
- Transparent bottle makes the remaining oil easy to see
- Wide opening supports refilling
- Pour and spray functions with a lockable lid
Cons:- Hand washing is recommended
- Dishwasher compatibility isn’t specified
- Clear glass offers less light shielding than the CXINYI’s deep green glass
Best for: Cooks who want to monitor oil levels and use a stated spray amount when seasoning pans or salads
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a dark bottle for light shielding or a dispenser with stated dishwasher compatibility
- Capacity:470 ml / 16 oz
- Material:Lead-free glass and BPA-free PP
- Spray output:Approximately 0.2 g per spray
- Functions:Pouring and spraying
- Features:Integrated spout, lockable lid, refillable
- Weight:10.56 oz
- Model:OS-104
- Recommended uses:Olive, avocado, canola, and vegetable oils; vinegar and soy sauce
Our verdict“Pick YARRAMATE if visible oil levels and a stated spray output matter more than dark glass or dishwasher guidance.”
Showvigor 17 oz Glass Olive Oil Dispenser Set
The Showvigor 17 oz set is the straightforward choice for cooks who mainly want controlled pouring and useful cleanup accessories. It comes with two stainless steel pourers with different tops, plus a funnel and brush, so buyers can set up the bottle for their preferred pour and have tools for refilling and cleaning. The dishwasher-safe bottle is a practical advantage over the YARRAMATE, which recommends hand washing. Unlike the CXINYI and TrendPlain, this is a pourer set rather than a combined spray-and-pour dispenser, so it won’t mist oil over a pan. Its 500 ml capacity is slightly larger than those 16 oz sprayer bottles. The glass may break if dropped, and the product details don’t specify whether the pourers or accessories are dishwasher safe.
Pros:- Includes two stainless steel pourers with different tops
- Funnel and brush support refilling and cleaning
- Bottle is dishwasher safe
- 500 ml capacity is slightly larger than the 16 oz sprayers
Cons:- Doesn’t provide a spray function for coating pans
- Glass can break if dropped
- Dishwasher guidance for the pourers and accessories isn’t specified
Best for: Cooks who prefer a traditional pour spout and want a funnel and brush for refilling and care
Not ideal for: Buyers who need spray application or a durable bottle for a drop-prone kitchen
- Capacity:500 ml / 17 oz
- Material:Lead-free glass
- Pourers:2 stainless steel pourers
- Included components:Bottle, 2 pourers, funnel, brush, and labels
- Bottle care:Dishwasher safe
- Weight:0.31 kg
- Model:FO
Our verdict“Choose Showvigor if you want a larger traditional pourer with refill and cleaning accessories, and don’t need a spray function.”
TrendPlain 16 oz Glass Olive Oil Sprayer and Dispenser, Black
For cooks who reach for a spray most often, the TrendPlain 16 oz gives a specific output figure: 0.15 g per spray. That makes its dose easier to compare with YARRAMATE’s approximately 0.2 g, while the option to pour remains useful when a recipe calls for more oil at once. Its nozzle is described as supporting a fine mist or steady stream, giving it more flexibility than the spray-only Flairosol Olivia Signature. A side handle is included, and the bottle is described as BPA-free, odorless, non-toxic, and heat-resistant. The tradeoff is limited product detail about durability and performance, as well as no listed cleaning guidance. Unlike the Showvigor set, it doesn’t include a funnel or brush.
Pros:- States an oil output of 0.15 g per spray
- Offers both spraying and pouring
- Supports fine mist and steady stream dispensing
- Includes a side handle
Cons:- Cleaning instructions aren’t specified
- The product details provide little information about durability or performance
- Doesn’t include the funnel and brush supplied with the Showvigor set
Best for: Cooks who want a reusable spray-and-pour bottle and a stated oil amount per spray
Not ideal for: Buyers who want included cleaning accessories, dishwasher guidance, or more documented durability details
- Capacity:470 ml / 16 oz
- Material:BPA-free glass
- Dispensing options:Spray and pour
- Oil per spray:0.15 g
- Weight:150 g
- Color:Black
- Included components:Side handle
Our verdict“Pick TrendPlain if you value a stated, relatively small spray dose and dual dispensing more than included care accessories.”
Flairosol Olivia Signature Glass Oil Sprayer, 200 ml, Green/Gold
The Flairosol Olivia Signature is the compact pick for cooks who want to apply a controlled mist with a trigger instead of pouring from a larger bottle. Its 200 ml capacity is less than half the 470 ml YARRAMATE, so it needs more frequent refills but takes up less room and suits smaller batches. Each full stroke releases about 1 g, which differs from the smaller per-spray figures listed for TrendPlain and YARRAMATE; the trigger format and measurement make direct comparisons approximate. A fan-spray nozzle, built-in filter, anti-drip trigger, and buckle support tidy application and storage. It doesn’t pour, though, and repeated strokes can be tedious when a recipe needs more oil. The glass bottle is also less convenient to carry than plastic.
Pros:- Compact 200 ml size suits small batches and limited storage
- Fan-spray nozzle produces a fine, even mist
- Anti-drip trigger and leak-prevention buckle support tidier storage
- Wide opening supports refilling
Cons:- Smaller capacity means more frequent refills than the 16 oz YARRAMATE
- Repeated trigger strokes take time when dispensing larger amounts
- Glass is less convenient to carry than a lightweight plastic bottle
Best for: Air-fryer and baking cooks who want a compact trigger sprayer for controlled coating and small batches
Not ideal for: Households that use oil heavily or want one bottle for both spraying and pouring
- Capacity:200 ml
- Material:Glass bottle
- Color:Green and gold
- Dispensing amount:Approximately 1 g per full stroke
- Nozzle:Fan-spray atomizing nozzle
- Features:Built-in filter, anti-drip trigger, leak-prevention buckle, ergonomic handle, wide opening
- Compatible liquids:Olive, avocado, canola oils; soy sauce, wine, water, and other cooking liquids
Our verdict“Choose Flairosol Olivia Signature if you want a compact, spray-only bottle for measured coating and can accept frequent refills.”
Olive Oil Dispenser Bottle with Stainless Steel Body, 17 fl oz
For buyers who store olive oil near a bright window or want a body that shields it from light, this opaque stainless steel bottle has an advantage over the clear AOZITA glass dispensers. Its 17 fl oz capacity is suited to regular kitchen use, and the wide opening makes refills easier. The built-in funnel and non-drip spout are designed to keep pouring tidy, while dishwasher-safe construction simplifies cleanup. I’d choose this over the AOZITA green glass model when blocking light matters more than seeing the oil level. The tradeoff is the plastic spout, which feels less cohesive than an all-metal pourer, and the opaque body means you’ll need to check the remaining oil by weight or open it. It can also dispense vinegar, melted butter, and syrup.
Pros:- Opaque stainless steel body blocks light
- Non-drip spout and built-in funnel are designed for controlled, tidy pouring
- Wide opening makes refilling easier
- Dishwasher-safe and suitable for several cooking liquids
Cons:- Plastic spout is less durable-feeling than a stainless steel pourer
- Opaque body hides the remaining oil level
Best for: Cooks who keep olive oil on an exposed counter and want a light-blocking, dishwasher-safe bottle.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want to see the remaining oil at a glance or prefer an all-metal pourer.
- Capacity:17 fl oz
- Body material:304 food-grade stainless steel
- Spout material:Plastic with rubber seal
- Pouring features:Non-drip spout and built-in drip-catching funnel
- Refill opening:Wide
- Care:Dishwasher-safe
Our verdict“Choose this bottle if light protection and easy cleanup matter more than checking the oil level without opening it.”
Leaflai Glass Oil and Vinegar Dispenser Set, 2-Pack, 500 ml
When olive oil and vinegar share a place at the table, Leaflai’s two-bottle set gives each a clearly visible, matching dispenser. The transparent glass makes it easier to tell the contents apart than with the opaque stainless steel bottle in this roundup, and the labels, brush, and funnel help with setup and cleaning. Each bottle holds 500 ml, so this set offers more combined capacity than buying a single AOZITA 17 oz dispenser. The tradeoff is upkeep: Leaflai requires hand washing, with water below 60°C, while the stainless steel option is dishwasher-safe. Glass also needs more careful handling, and the tall, narrow shape may not suit every shelf. I’d pick Leaflai for a paired oil-and-vinegar station, but skip it if low-effort cleanup is your priority.
Pros:- Two 500 ml bottles make it easy to pair oil with vinegar
- Transparent glass makes contents easy to identify
- Includes stainless steel pourers, labels, a brush, and a funnel
- Anti-drip design is intended to reduce pouring mess
Cons:- Hand wash only, using water below 60°C
- Glass can break if struck or squeezed
- Tall bottles may not fit shorter storage spaces
Best for: Home cooks who want matching, clearly identifiable bottles for olive oil and vinegar, plus basic refill and cleaning accessories.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need dishwasher convenience or a bottle set that can take rough handling.
- Capacity:500 ml (17 oz) per bottle
- Bottle material:Glass
- Set contents:2 bottles, 2 stainless steel pourers, 4 labels, 1 brush, 1 funnel
- Dimensions:2 × 2 × 12.5 in
- Weight:0.56 kg
- Care:Hand wash only; use water below 60°C
Our verdict“Pick Leaflai for a coordinated oil-and-vinegar setup if you’re comfortable hand-washing and handling glass carefully.”
Flairosol Olivia Refillable Glass Oil Sprayer, Golden Leaves
This is the lineup’s pick for cooks who want a fine, broad coating rather than the stream delivered by a conventional pourer. The fan-shaped spray and output of about 1 g per full stroke make portioning more deliberate for a pan, salad, or baking surface. Compared with the AOZITA 17 oz glass dispenser, Flairosol gives up a stated capacity and a steady-pour format in favor of spray control. Its refillable glass bottle, filter, and leak-resistant trigger are designed for repeated use with fewer clogs and drips. Each stroke must be completed for consistent output, so this takes more hand action than simply tipping a bottle. The capacity is not specified, which makes it harder to judge how often refills will be needed. I’d choose it for coverage control, not bulk storage.
Pros:- Fan-shaped spray spreads oil across a wider area
- Approximately 1 g output per full stroke supports portion control
- Refillable glass bottle is designed for repeated use
- Filter and leak-resistant trigger help reduce clogs and drips
Cons:- Bottle capacity is not specified
- Consistent output requires full trigger strokes
- Spraying takes more hand action than pouring from a standard dispenser
Best for: Cooks who want to mist pans or food evenly and control oil in measured trigger strokes.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want a known large capacity or the fast, continuous pour of a spout bottle.
- Brand:FLAIROSOL
- Model:FL1003
- Bottle material:Glass
- Color/design:Golden Leaves
- Item weight:265 g
- Output per full stroke:Approximately 1 g (0.04 oz)
- Capacity:Not specified
- Features:Refillable, reusable, propellant-free, leak-resistant
Our verdict“Choose this sprayer for measured, even oil coverage when you don’t need a stated high-capacity bottle.”
AOZITA 17 oz Clear Glass Olive Oil Dispenser Bottle with Pourers and Funnel
AOZITA’s clear bottle keeps the setup simple: a 500 ml glass body, capped stainless steel pourer, and funnel for refills. The clear glass makes the oil level easy to check, unlike the opaque stainless steel bottle, and the cap is designed to keep dust out between uses. Compared with AOZITA’s green-glass version, this clear model makes contents and fill level especially easy to see, though it offers less help against sunlight. The included funnel is useful if you refill from larger containers, and the stated indoor and outdoor use broadens where it can sit. Care instructions are not provided, so I can’t confirm dishwasher compatibility. The description also doesn’t establish leak-proof performance. This is a practical pick for visible, steady pouring, with some uncertainty around cleaning and sealing.
Pros:- Clear glass makes oil level easy to monitor
- Funnel is included for refilling
- Capped pourer is designed to keep dust out
- Suitable for oils, vinegars, dressings, and other cooking liquids
Cons:- Clear glass does not shield oil from sunlight as the green AOZITA bottle is designed to
- Dishwasher compatibility is not specified
- Leak-proof performance is not established in the provided product details
Best for: Cooks who want a transparent, medium-capacity bottle with a capped pourer and funnel for routine refills.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need light-shielding storage or confirmed dishwasher-safe care instructions.
- Capacity:500 ml (17 oz)
- Bottle material:Clear glass
- Pourer material:18/8 stainless steel
- Item weight:0.37 kg
- Included components:Oil bottle, funnel, bottle pourer
- Recommended use:Indoor and outdoor
Our verdict“Choose the clear AOZITA if you value easy fill-level checks and a simple refill kit over light protection.”
AOZITA 17 oz Green Glass Olive Oil Dispenser with Pourers and Funnel
AOZITA’s green glass bottle offers a middle ground between clear glass and the fully opaque stainless steel dispenser: its green glass helps reduce sunlight exposure, while still letting more light through than steel. That makes it a useful countertop choice for someone who wants a more visible oil level than the steel bottle provides. At 500 ml, it matches the clear AOZITA model’s capacity and also includes a pourer and funnel. The dust-protecting caps and dishwasher-safe care are practical advantages over Leaflai’s hand-wash-only pair. Green glass provides some shielding, not the full barrier of the stainless steel bottle, and the product data gives no dimensions for checking cabinet fit. I’d favor this over the clear AOZITA when a bottle will sit in daylight, while choosing the steel option for stronger light blocking.
Pros:- Green glass helps protect oil from sunlight
- 500 ml capacity suits regular kitchen use
- Includes pourer and funnel for serving and refilling
- Dishwasher-safe, with lead-free and BPA-free material claims
Cons:- Green glass does not block light as fully as the opaque stainless steel bottle
- Bottle dimensions are not specified
- Glass requires more careful handling than a steel-bodied dispenser
Best for: Cooks who keep a 500 ml oil bottle on the counter and want some light shielding with a visible glass body.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need full light blocking or must confirm bottle dimensions before choosing a storage spot.
- Capacity:500 ml (17 oz)
- Material:Glass and stainless steel
- Color:Green
- Weight:0.45 kg
- Included components:Oil dispenser, bottle pourer, funnel
- Care:Dishwasher-safe
- Material safety:Lead-free, BPA-free
Our verdict“Pick this AOZITA when you want a visible glass dispenser with some light shielding and dishwasher-safe care.”
How We Picked
I ranked these dispensers by how well their stated design matches common cooking routines: controlled pouring, spraying, or keeping oil and vinegar together. I also weighed listed capacity, material, included accessories, and whether the format seems straightforward to refill and clean. The product details supplied here do not establish measured spray performance, leak resistance, or long-term durability, so I avoid treating those qualities as proven.
The ranking gives priority to versatile everyday use, then to more specialized needs. Showvigor leads as a set built around pouring; CXINYI and YARRAMATE follow for shoppers who value a combined sprayer and dispenser. Dedicated sprayers, a stainless steel body option, a paired oil-and-vinegar set, and the AOZITA color variants rank according to the specific use they serve. Within the AOZITA pair, I treat the clear and green versions as close alternatives because their listed capacity and accessories match.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Olive Oil Dispenser
Choose an olive oil dispenser around how you cook and where you store it. A bottle that works well for finishing salads may be awkward for pan coverage, while a sprayer may not give the measured pour you want for dressings. These broader checks can help you pick a format that suits your routine.
Decide Whether You Need a Spray, a Pour, or Both
Start with the task you repeat most often: coating a pan, dressing food, or pouring oil into a recipe. A sprayer spreads a smaller amount over a wider area, but it may be less convenient when a recipe calls for a distinct pour. A spout gives more direct control, though pouring quickly can add more oil than intended. A 2-in-1 design can cover both jobs, but extra functions only help if you use them. Think through your last few meals before choosing; the most useful format is the one that matches your regular motions.
Match Capacity to Your Cooking Pace
A larger bottle means fewer refills, but oil kept on the counter can be exposed to light and warmth. A smaller container can make it easier to refill fresh oil more often, though frequent refills may be inconvenient for heavy use. Capacity labels do not tell you how quickly oil moves through the dispenser or how easy the bottle is to handle when full. Consider how much oil you use in a typical week and whether you store the bottle near the stove. Avoid filling a dispenser to the brim if the mechanism needs room to operate or if you want to clean it regularly.
Think About Light, Heat, and Storage Location
Olive oil benefits from storage away from heat and prolonged light, so a clear glass bottle is most suitable when it lives in a cupboard or shaded spot. A colored or covered body can reduce direct light exposure, but it does not make a bottle safe beside a hot burner. Countertop convenience is useful, yet the space next to the stove may be one of the warmest places in the kitchen. If visibility helps you track how much oil remains, clear glass offers that at a glance. Choose a stable, cooler storage spot first, then decide which bottle appearance suits it.
Check Refill and Cleaning Practicalities
Refilling can become messy when an opening is narrow or the spout is difficult to remove. Included funnels, such as those listed with the AOZITA bottles, can help transfer oil with less spillage, but they do not eliminate the need to clean the bottle and accessories. Sprayer mechanisms may have more parts or passages that need attention than a basic pourer. Before buying, check whether the maker gives cleaning instructions and whether the components can be reached easily. A dispenser that is simple to maintain is more likely to stay useful after the novelty wears off.
Choose a Set Only When You Will Use Its Extra Pieces
A paired oil-and-vinegar set can keep two frequently used condiments together, but it also takes more counter or cupboard space. A single dispenser set may be a better fit if oil is the only liquid you want to decant. Extra pourers and funnels are helpful when you want spares or a cleaner refill routine, but unused accessories can add clutter. Measure the available space and think about whether you already own compatible bottles before opting for a set. The right bundle is the one that replaces a real task or item in your kitchen.
Pay More for a Specific Advantage You Will Notice
When comparing options, focus on the feature that changes your daily routine: a sprayer for broad coverage, a second bottle for vinegar, or a body that suits your storage conditions. Decorative finishes may matter on an open counter, while they add little if the dispenser stays in a cupboard. Capacity and included parts are easy to compare, but claims about spray quality, leak resistance, and durability need supporting product details. Read the care and compatibility information before deciding that a more elaborate design is worth it. A simpler bottle can be the better choice when controlled pouring is all you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a 2-in-1 sprayer and dispenser or a separate pour bottle?
Choose a 2-in-1 model if you regularly switch between coating food or pans and pouring oil into a recipe. It can save counter space compared with keeping two dedicated tools nearby. A separate pour bottle is often easier to use when measured, steady pouring is your main need. The listed features alone do not show how smoothly a particular model changes between functions, so check the mechanism and care instructions before buying. If you rarely spray oil, a simpler dispenser may be easier to maintain.
Is clear glass a poor choice for an olive oil dispenser?
Clear glass is not automatically a poor choice, but it makes the oil more exposed to light when left out. It can work well if you store the bottle in a cupboard or away from a sunny window and hot appliances. Green glass can reduce direct light exposure compared with clear glass, though storage location still matters. Clear glass has a practical advantage: you can see how much oil remains. Pick based on where the dispenser will live, not color alone.
Do I need a separate dispenser for vinegar?
A paired set makes sense if you regularly use oil and vinegar together and have room to keep both bottles handy. Leaflai is the listed two-bottle option in this roundup, while the other picks focus on oil dispensing. If vinegar is an occasional ingredient, a second bottle may add clutter without making cooking easier. Keep in mind that liquids with different thicknesses or residue can need different cleaning routines. Buy a pair to support a routine you already have, rather than assuming you will use both containers.
How often should I refill and clean an olive oil dispenser?
Refill frequency depends on how quickly you use the oil and how much the bottle holds; smaller amounts can be practical if you want to replenish more often. Clean the bottle and its pourer or sprayer when residue builds up, when the oil changes, and according to the manufacturer’s care directions. Sprayer mechanisms may need closer attention because oil can remain in narrow passages. Do not top up indefinitely without cleaning, since old residue can mix with fresh oil. A funnel can help with refilling, but clean it too if it touches oil.
Which type is easiest for a beginner to use?
A basic pour dispenser is usually the clearest starting point if you mainly want to control how oil leaves the bottle. A 2-in-1 model can be approachable when you know you will use both spray and pour functions, but it introduces another mechanism to learn and maintain. A dedicated sprayer suits cooks who specifically want a spray and do not need a conventional pour. Compare the listed parts and refill method before choosing, since ease of use depends on the design details. For a first dispenser, prioritize a format that matches one familiar cooking task.
Conclusion
For a broad everyday choice, I recommend the Showvigor set as best overall for cooks who want a pour-focused dispenser. The AOZITA clear bottle is my best value-style pick for shoppers seeking a straightforward bottle with listed pourers and a funnel; choose the green version if you prefer less direct light exposure. For beginners who mainly pour oil, a simple bottle such as AOZITA is an easy format to understand, while CXINYI is better for cooks who want to try both spraying and pouring. The Flairosol Olivia Signature is my premium-style choice for a sprayer-first routine, and Leaflai fits kitchens that regularly use both oil and vinegar. Match the format to your most common task, then choose capacity and color around your storage space.
